Anthony J. Bartal passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his family Sunday, Nov. 24, 2013. He was 89.

Tony, as he liked to be called, was born in Coaldale, Pa., on July 6, 1924. He played varsity basketball and football at Coaldale High School. Upon graduation, Tony served proudly in the U.S. Army during World War II. He moved to Bristol in 1953, where he took a job in the Coke Works department of U.S. Steel, until he retired in 1984.

Once retired, Tony enjoyed gardening and woodworking. He was an avid Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies fan, and he loved listening to or watching his favorite teams. Win or lose - he never gave up on them.

Tony is survived by his wife of 66 years, Florence; his son, Dennis (Karen) and daughter, Donna Kahhan (Jeff); his grandchildren, Christopher Harkins (Elizabeth), Patrick Bartal, Amy Desmond (Daniel), Justin Kahhan, and Lauren Kahhan; and his great grandchildren, Nicolina and Ellianna Harkins.

Relatives and friends may call 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Croydon, where a Funeral Mass will begin at 10:30 a.m. Interment will follow at Our Lady of Grace Cemetery in Penndel.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made in Anthony's name to St. Thomas Aquinas Church, 126 Walnut Ave., Croydon, PA 19021. Galzerano Funeral Home
